Haley Acquires Steelers Down Yards

Football Betting Lines

Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears on Tuesday reached an agreement with Jeremy Bates to become the team's quarterbacks coach. Bates is familiar with Chicago starter Jay Cutler, having worked with him for three seasons in Denver.

 

Bates mostly recently served as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks in 2010.

 

Joining the Steelers is a sort of homecoming for Haley, whose father, Dick, served as Pittsburgh's director of player personnel from 1971-90.

 

"I am excited about the opportunity to come back home and work for a tremendous organization," Haley said Tuesday in a statement. "It is an honor to work with the Rooney family and Coach Tomlin and continue the success that has become synonymous with the Steelers. My father has so many fond memories both from his playing days and his time in the personnel department with the team, and I look forward to helping bring more championships to Pittsburgh and to being a part of one of the storied franchises in the NFL."

 

Prior to taking over the Chiefs, Todd Haley was the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals from 2007-08 under Ken Whisenhunt, who had been the Steelers' offensive coordinator before taking the Arizona head coaching job. The Cardinals scored a franchise-record 427 points in 2008 and reached the Super Bowl for the first time, losing to Pittsburgh.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore Ravens running back Ricky Williams is planning to retire, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday. The former NFL rushing champion assumed a reserve role with the Ravens this past season, gaining 444 yards and scoring two touchdowns while backing up Ray Rice. The news of Williams calling it a career comes two weeks after he said that he intended to return to the Ravens for the final season of his two-year contract.

 

Williams twice reached the 1,000-yard plateau with the Saints, then led the NFL with 1,853 rushing yards in his first season with Miami in 2002. He added 1,372 yards the following year, then abruptly retired just before training camp in 2004.

 

The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner rejoined the Dolphins in 2005, only after the team had demanded that he return bonus money for breach of contract. He then was suspended for the 2006 season after his fourth violation of the league's drug policy.

 

For his career, Williams has run for 10,009 yards with 66 touchdowns in 147 NFL games.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Giants celebrated another Super Bowl title Tuesday with a parade up the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan and a ceremony at City Hall Plaza. Thousands of fans lined the streets as players, coaches and team personnel rode floats from the southern tip of Manhattan through the financial district as confetti fluttered down from the high-rise buildings.
